Cables for power, signal, sun and light

Five families, one supplier. Choose by use, then build a specification and send it to us as an enquiry.

Armoured 3.5 core aluminium power cable, stripped back to show the steel wire armour, bedding, insulated cores and stranded conductors

LT & HT power cables

The heavy lines: substation to switchboard to machine.

Low tension cable feeds motors, machines and buildings. High tension cable moves power between substations, transformers and plants. Voltage grade, conductor and armour decide what you lose on the way and how long the cable lives.

Where it is used

  • Plant and factory power distribution
  • Substation, transformer and feeder connections
  • Building mains and sub-mains
  • Utility and infrastructure networks

What we need to quote

  • Voltage grade
  • Conductor: copper or aluminium
  • Cores and cross-section (sq mm)
  • Insulation: PVC or XLPE
  • Armoured or unarmoured
  • Total length and drum lengths

Instrument cable with four twisted pairs, individual and overall foil screens and a drain wire

Instrument & control cables

Small signals. No room for noise.

A plant runs on low-level signals from sensors, transmitters, PLCs and DCS systems. Twisted pairs and screening keep those signals clean, so how the cable is built matters as much as its size.

Where it is used

  • Process instrumentation and field devices
  • PLC, DCS and control panel wiring
  • Industrial automation and communication
  • Fire, safety and monitoring systems

What we need to quote

  • Pairs, triads or cores
  • Conductor size
  • Individual and/or overall screening
  • Armoured or unarmoured
  • Sheath, e.g. flame retardant
  • Project specification or standard

Red and black solar DC cables stripped to show the tinned copper strands and double insulation

Solar DC cables

Built to sit in the sun and carry DC.

Solar cable joins modules, strings, combiner boxes and inverters, and spends its life outdoors. Ordinary cable degrades fast in that heat and light. Solar cable is made for it.

Where it is used

  • Module and string interconnection
  • String to combiner and inverter DC runs
  • Rooftop installations
  • Ground-mounted solar plants

What we need to quote

  • Cross-section (sq mm)
  • Single core, red or black
  • Length and drum or coil size
  • Project standard or approval

Armoured loose-tube fibre optic cable with coloured tubes, fibres, aramid yarn and corrugated steel tape

Fibre optic cables

Data, carried as light.

Fibre moves data over long distances at very high bandwidth, immune to electrical noise. It links campuses, plants, towers and networks: the communication layer modern infrastructure sits on.

Where it is used

  • Telecom backbone and access networks
  • Campus, plant and enterprise networks
  • CCTV, surveillance and traffic systems
  • Data links between buildings

What we need to quote

  • Fibre count
  • Single-mode or multi-mode
  • Armoured or unarmoured
  • Indoor or outdoor
  • Duct, aerial or direct burial
Specify fibre optic cable
Five flexible house wiring cables in red, yellow, blue, black and green, stripped to show fine copper strands

House wiring cables

The wire behind every switch and socket.

Flexible multi-strand copper wiring is the everyday workhorse for homes, offices and shops: easy to pull, simple to terminate, colour-coded for safe installation.

Where it is used

  • Residential wiring
  • Commercial interiors and fit-outs
  • Distribution boards and final circuits
  • Renovation and rewiring

What we need to quote

  • Size (sq mm)
  • Colours required
  • Coil length and quantity
  • Flame-retardant grade, if required
Specify house wiring cable
A four core armoured copper power cable, stripped back layer by layer

Read a cable layer by layer

Conductor

The metal that carries the current: copper or aluminium, made of many strands so the cable stays flexible.

Every layer is a question we ask when you send a specification. Get the layers right and the cable fits the job.
